Standard Cantilever Systems

Wilsonstak Cantilever Systems are made from strong, durable components...

Each unit frame is made of 16 gauge welded steel construction, eliminating the need for sway braces and starter/adder components. Each frame accommodates single or double face configuration.

Shelves are made of 18 gauge steel with triple bends on the front and back edge to prevent sagging. The Wilsonstak shelf surpasses all American Library Association strength and durability standards.

Single or double face, the Wilsonstak base bracket offers greater stability because the wrap around design becomes part of the frame. One piece base shelf ensures stable, free-standing installations.

Wilsonstak Cantilever shelving has many shelf options: sloped media, zig-zag, storage, & sliding reference. Options also include a sloped display base, canopy top, free-standing book supports, sliding dividers on integral backstop shelves, adjustable dividers, under-shelf wire book supports, card holders, range finders and more!

Library Bookstack Planning

Library bookstacks are shelving units specifically designed for efficient storage and display of library collections. With today's multimedia collections available, proper planning, layout and selection of bookstacks and component accessories, is a very important aspect of today's library design.

Standard Bookstack Sizes

Widths: 36" or 30" wide overall

Heights: 42", 52", 66", 78", 90", or 93"

Depths: *Single-faced: 8", 9", 10", or 12"

*Double-faced: 16", 18", 20" or 24"

Special sizes can be made to order.

*Nominal vs. Actual Dimensions: For Cantilever type bookstacks, the adjustable shelves and base shelf depths are given in "nominal" dimensions, which indicates the depth from the front edge of the shelf to the center line of the 2" depth frame. For adjustable shelves, the actual depth is 1" less than the "nominal" depth. For base shelves, the actual depth of the shelf, as well as the overall depth of the bookstack unit, will measure 1-3/8" greater than the "nominal" depth for single face units and 7/16" greater than the "nominal" depth for double faced units. eg.24" base shelf is actually 24-7/16" deep.

Periodicals

Periodicals and special display shelves ride on hinged shelves with back issues stored conveniently under the display. Optional Plexiglas covers are available to protect materials.

Children's Area Shelving

Kids are tough on shelves. And, they require them to be low to the ground. Our 42" high divider-type shelving keeps materials organized and within easy reach, while our strong, durable shelving units have field-proven stability.
